But they'll retain their titles for longer than expected now that the upcoming summer series has been cancelled due to the coronavirus lockdown.

Kevin Lygo, Director of Television at ITV, said: "We have tried every which way to make Love Island this summer but logistically it's just not possible to produce it in a way that safeguards the wellbeing of everyone involved and that for us is the priority.

"In normal circumstances we would be preparing very soon to travel out to the location in Mallorca to get the villa ready but clearly that’s now out of the question.

"We are very sorry for fans of the show but making it safely is our prime concern and Love Island will be back stronger than ever in 2021. In the meantime Love Island fans can still enjoy all six series of Love Island on BritBox."

Amid the coronavirus pandemic, it would be impossible to film the show with the restrictions on travel and of course, the social-distancing rules.

It's reported that the work already put into the production of the now-cancelled summer series will instead be put to use in another winter series early next year.

It's said that casting had already begun, with interviews taking place over Zoom, meaning that applicants who had been hoping to head to Spain this summer could be held back for the next winter offering.

This is the first time Love Island has missed a series since it began in 2015, when Max Morley and Jessica Hayes won.
